LINGUIST Software Development

9311748 Dry这笔奖助金将用于修改和开发《语言学家名录》的编辑软件。语言学家名单是一个学术语言学家的互联网讨论论坛，由德克萨斯农工大学分发，由安东尼·阿里斯塔（德克萨斯农工大学）和海伦·德里（东密歇根大学）主持。在成立的26个月里，它在用户和功能方面都经历了极其迅速的增长。LINGUIST提供了一个已经建立的和功能齐全的手段，与世界各地的学科成员进行有效的沟通；它的成功证明了电子媒介作为一种激励语言学研究的手段的可行性。但是，LINGUIST需要提高效率，因为它的扩张已经使其目前的编辑资源负担过重。如果要继续下去，LINGUIST需要提高效率，因为它的扩张已经使其目前的编辑资源负担过重。如果要继续下去，LINGUIST必须拥有易于学习的编辑软件，并且专门为智能处理大量邮件而设计。因此，目前项目预算的一部分将用于开发专门用于提高LINGUIST邮件和数据处理能力的软件；还有一部分将用于制作自学材料（例如，计算机教程），以培训新的学生助理使用LINGUIST。＊＊＊

9311748 Dry This grant will be used in modifying and developing editing software for The LINGUIST List. The LINGUIST List is an Internet discussion forum for academic linguists, which is distributed from Texas A&M University and moderated by Anthony Aristar (Texas A&M) and Helen Dry (Eastern Michigan University). In its 26 months of existence it has experienced extremely rapid growth in both subscribers and functions. LINGUIST provides an already-established and fully functional means of communicating effectively with members of the discipline across the world; and its success demonstrates the viability of the electronic medium as a means of stimulating linguistic research. However, LINGUIST needs to be made more efficient, as its expansion has already overburdened its current editorial resources. If it is to continue, LINGUIST needs to be made more efficient, as its expansion has already overburdened its current editorial resources. If it is to continue, LINGUIST must have editing software that is easy to learn and designed specifically for the intelligent handling of large volumes of mail. Part of the current project's budget, then, will be spent in producing software specifically aimed at improving LINGUIST's mail and data handling capabilities; and part will go toward the creation of self-instructional materials (for example, a computer tutorial) for training new student assistants on LINGUIST. ***
